My Mk3 Cupra Thread

Post by stani540 »

Right well bought my cupra 2 weeks ago and thought id start a progres thread!

here it is as i got it.

Here is the spec:

Revo Stage 1
Bilstein Shocks
Lowered 30mm on Eibach Springs
Cat Back Milltek Exhaust System
Boost Gauge

so the project began and i got a civic stubby aerial, an lcr splitter , and wiring in my my boost gauge in

Image

Image

Image

Image

so i wired in the boost guage so it fades with the existing dash light and moved it out of the cupra r guage holder into a single guage holder, which i think looks muchbetter

Image

Image

what do you think?

have more plans in the pipe line, fmic and milltek downpipe

looks nice, jabba sport do a really nice heat shield for their induction kits, that will also hold it in place...not sure if you can get hold of it seperately though...

As above i have had a busy weekend and here are the pics of my work!!

Wasn't helped by the flat tyre i got on friday night screw in the tyre :(

Image

Rolling on 2 inch wheel with 20mm spacers i think it needs 50mm hahaha!!:D


Image


Anyway after i sorted that out with a new tyre on saturday :( I got to work on the stuff id planned

1) Replaced all the vac tubes with silicon alternatives and carried out the N249 bypass

Image

Image

Image


2) Fabricated a bracket to hold my new jetex filter in place its not solid as a rock and doesn't look to bad either!!!

Image

Image


3) Relocated the fusebos and added a nice shiny battery cover

Image


Im very pleased with it all the bracket looks nice and holds the cone well, and the DV now makes a much sharper noise!


Here are some pics of my resprayed door handles that i did a couple of weeks ago in gloss black
